A pair of high-profile light heavyweights looking to return to the win column will meet in Philadelphia, as Rich Franklin faces Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

UFC officials today announced the matchup, which takes place at UFC 133.

Though not yet officially announced by the promotion, UFC 133 takes place Aug. 6 in Philadelphia. The city’s Wells Fargo Center is expected to host the pay-per-view event.

Franklin is undoubtedly happy to get an opponent of smaller stature. He took on could-be heavyweight Forrest Griffin at UFC 126 in a marquee matchup with personal stakes – the two agreed the loser would get a tattoo – and struggled with the former champion’s bulk when the fight hit the ground. In the end, he lost a unanimous decision and was forced to get some new ink – or at least a big splotch of henna shaped as a dragon.

The unfortunate design erased the memory of his previous outing, a knockout win over Chuck Liddell at UFC 115. But that win left him with another reminder in the form of a broken left ulna he suffered when Liddell kicked him in the forearm in the first round of the fight.

Nogueira doesn’t cut nearly as much weight as Griffin, but his heavy hands may give Franklin pause. The Brazilian PRIDE veteran and twin brother of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira showed well in his most recent fight against Phil Davis, but the up-and-comer took control of the ground game and lost a unanimous decision in the headliner of UFC Fight Night 24. It was Nogueira’s second consecutive setback after Ryan Bader outpointed him at UFC 119 and put him at an even 2-2 inside the octagon.

With back-to-back losses, “Lil Nog” could be facing an uncertain future with a third loss.

It’s all but certain Franklin vs. Nogueira will grace the main card of UFC 133, though the promotion has yet to make official its placement.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
